Hm what kind of Voodoo dedication ritual ? Ancestral , feeding the Lwa, Mambo trance ....the list goes on , You will have to be slightly more specific.
Also African Voodoo ( as religion ) can be practiced only by initiated / dedicated ( perhaps whis was the rite You were asking about ? ) . There are other systems You can practice without mandatory decication rite , such as Creole Voodoo , New Orleans Voodoo and few other.

To add a spell here You must be Council member, unless You are a member of "Spellcasters" group , as there are all members are automatically set to council position.

all caps is yelling, no need for yelling. just saying.
and with just starting a practice, you aren't going to have instant control over one person. Give your practice respect enough to learn it before simply taking from it.

A warning, if you plan to use voodoo simply to handle one situation in your life...find another way.

Firstly, the rituals are complex and must be done perfectly.
Secondly, many of the Loa are very tempermental and NONE will be used.

I suggest you either submerge yourself into voodoo entirely, or find an alterior means. Gaining enough trust and respect to get done what you wish to have done is not something that will happen overnight.

When dealing with ANY entity, you should really research what they are about and expect, because once you invite them in but don't serve and respect them the way they should be...not nice things can happen.
